Heart Rate Calculations
Yourmaximumheartrateusuallydecreasesfrom 220BeatsPerMinute(BPM)inchildhoodto approximately160BPMbyage60. Thisfall in heart rateisusuallylinear,
decreasingbyapproximatelyoneBPMfor eachyear.Thereisno indicationthat traininginfluencesthe decreasein maximumheartrate. Individualsofthe sameagecould
